Bangkok:The government has announced modifications to the schedules of eight train services on the Eastern Line to improve connectivity with public transportation systems.

According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Ploytalay Laksmisangchan, Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, stated that adjustments were necessary due to flooding on the Eastern railway line, which has affected several areas, including parts of inner Bangkok.
